Blue Vector Systems recently announced a Pharmaceutical Edition of its RFID automation platform. This solution offers pharmaceutical manufacturers, packagers, distributors and retailers item-level track and trace, shipment accuracy and integration with drug pedigree and authentication systems.

The Blue Vector Pharmaceutical Edition includes features that have proven most popular in pharma deployments. These include support for intelligent dock door, conveyor, shelf, and desktop RFID automation stations—either from Blue Vector or from third parties—as well as simultaneous support for multiple tag types including UHF, HF, and long range active RFID tags.

“Blue Vector addresses the need for a common, convenient platform to manage RFID throughout the supply chain in many different types of operations,” said Russ Klein, Director of Emerging Technology Research at Aberdeen Group. “The success they have had in the pharma market with companies like McKesson and Rite Aid is a testament to the value of RFID in pharma.”
